FINALLY FINISHED

Well here she is in all of glory.

Dan, this is a really impressive piece of work. I especially was impressed with the precision of your edge work -- around the steps and rails. The weathering really ups the reality factor. What was your technique?

Could this be the Reserve Mining SD-38 that Progressive Rail just bought and repainted as I think it's no. 42??

Awesome work Dan!

Outstanding paint work and photography. Thank you. I wish I was that talented. Do you paint the whole locomotive without taking her apart? It sure looks that way. Doesn't the paint affect the ability for the engine to run after that? As you might guess, I'm a new at this. Guess I need to go to painting and computer school so I can accomplish something.

Todd,

I was so busy working my jaw that taking photo's just slipped my mind. Thankfully, Erik Hyjek has posted some out there already.

Enjoy.

p.s. wjstix, this is one of #42's sisters. Progressive Rail #42 is ex-Reserve Mining #1242

Dan I can't believe in all the time I have been here this is the first time I'm seeing this thread . The loci looks absolutely stunning and I was wondering if you could post a side by side shot of the before and after? Thanks Pat
